    Back to basics here.
    Concerning those patients with plantar fascia like symptoms and with weak ankle everters, is the weakness most probably due to the ankle everters being under-loaded over time in those whose STJ (& MTJ) external pronatory forces are excessive?
    I have been dx with trauma-induced dementia so I don't mind being told where I am wrong, if i am, mark

    I posted as i had just heard a British physio podcast and he mentioned a study of patients who had plantar fasciopathy / fasciitis like symptoms and that weak ankle everters were common within the subjects. I am interested in how common are weak ankle everters within this cohort that podiatrists encounter.
    I must have the record, behind NewsBot, for threads with no replies, all the best, mark

    PF = Plantar fasciitis ? Just theorizing. There was an article on sinus tarsi pain that found decreased activity in the peroneal muscles. When they anesthetized the sinus tarsi "normal" muscle function returned. It could be a pain avoidance thing, where a pronation moment from the ground is causing high loads in the plantar fascia and the brain is choosing not to use the peroneals because it would tend to hurt more. Doesn't quite make sense because the peroneus longus tension will tend to reduce tension in the plantar fascia.
